Osteopathic Workshops

  • April 27, 2026, Advanced OMT (3 hours) 
  • September 14, 2026, Osteopathic Principles & Practice: Introduction to OMT (OMT for MDs) (6 hours)

These hands on workshops take place in-person at the PNWU Yakima campus or can be livestreamed if the host site meets specific requirements. The workshops are designed to increase OMT competency and knowledge for osteopathic preceptors. The Intro to OMT workshop is targeted for MD preceptors, DOs needing a refresher and MDs matriculating into ACGME Osteopathic Recognized programs. The Advanced OMT workshop is geared towards physicians that are comfortable with OMT and are familiar with the basic osteopathic principles and techniques.

Workshops are free for Network programs. Registration links will be sent out 3 months prior to the event on the FMRN listserv. For more information, please contact Michelle Chadek, MS, Director of Graduate Medical Education.
